<meta name="description" content="The Apache Cassandra database is the right choice when you need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear scalability and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for mission-critical data. Cassandra's support for replicating across multiple datacenters is best-in-class, providing lower latency for your users and the peace of mind of knowing that you can survive regional outages.

<p>If LeveledCompactionStrategy is set, this script can be used to reset level to 0 on a given set of sstables. This is useful if you want to, for example, change the minimum sstable size, and therefore restart the compaction process using this new configuration.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference external" href="http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/compaction.html#leveled-compaction-strategy">http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/compaction.html#leveled-compaction-strategy</a> for information on how levels are used in this compaction strategy.</p>
<p>Cassandra must be stopped before this tool is executed, or unexpected results will occur. Note: the script does not verify that Cassandra is stopped.</p>
